Dekem residence, a traditional house dating back to 30's that opens to visitors for the very first time, is located in the fine village of Gavalohori, within close proximity to both the north and south of Crete. The balcony upstairs offers a perfect view for your morning coffee.The spacious yard (1000sq) is dominated by stone, and plenty of fruitful trees. Figs, oranges, lemons, cactus figs, walnuts are amongst the treats our garden provides that guests are more than welcome to taste. One can also enjoy the Cretan sun, cool down swimming in the pool (24sq) and use the BBQ area covered with pergola. At night, you can sit outside, stare at the breath-taking sky and enjoy a cooling breeze during the hot summer.
